The Biden administration is considering the use of vaccines in poultry as one option to address a bird flu epidemic that has killed millions of chickens and contributed to high egg prices.
“There are a range of options the United States regularly considers when there is any outbreak that could affect the security and safety of the United States’ food supply,” a White House National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement on Monday. “Right now, we are focused on promoting and enhancing high-impact biosafety practices and procedures.”
Those safety procedures include efforts to prevent transmission of the bird flu through enhanced disinfection among workers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring the threat of the avian flu’s risk to humans, which is considered to be low. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been responding whenever the flu is detected among bird populations, and the agency has begun testing potential poultry vaccines. No such vaccine is authorized yet…

I don’t want them anywhere near our food!!!
Meanwhile, back at home………
That’s the idea.
And it’s not sick. It’s evil. Demonic to the core evil.
You misspelled “gullible fool”.
My, my, my…”organic” certainly went out the window in a hurry.

Flu vaccines for people don’t seem very effective, but there are guessing which varieties to vaccinate against each year. They won’t have that problem with birds, but what about the rapidly mutating virus, will that decrease effectiveness of bird vaccine?
How many billions will Pfizer get for the chickens?
Have to wash their hands after handling poo?
I have 300 chickens, not going to do it..
I can find 18 eggs for $4.39. They’re from a local producer and they’re good eggs. I can’t get over the price difference with Wal-Mart $8.93 for 18 Eggland’s Best. Jeeze louise.
When the government sets out to solve a problem, the only question is whether the solution will get derailed by corruption or incompetence.
I was trying to be a bit nice, but I sure have little patience for it now.
I hope your and your family are setup well locally. That’s what people should be doing. Establishing little communities and providing their own food sources.
That’s one way to make me stop eating chicken and eggs.
We are way out in the sticks and pretty well set. I have my onion seeds started already for this coming year’s crop, and am busy planning the other long term storage veggies.
We have found good sources for fresh local milk and eggs, and know of a place for good beef, friend of my son’s.
Yes, it’s entirely possible that the bird flu vaccine will have the same issues that we have with the human flu vaccine vs various mutations.
The Cu Clucks Clan at it again.

The question of course is does the existence of a vaccine increase the likelihood of a mutation through natural selection. Or does the vaccine reduce the spread and number of instances of the flu enough to reduce the mutations.
I just checked my Walmart app.....a dozen of their brand “great value” is $2.38.
A dozen Egglands best is only $3.34.....like I said, prices must be regional.
